I got my meditation book! I'm reading it whenever I have a moment, and so far the information has been super helpful. Meditation itself is simple to do, but after a while I started craving some kind of external guidance about what I'm doing, what aspects should I look for and how should I treat other kinds of aspects. It's doing exactly that, and it's doing so with precise language, which I think is super important when we are talking about phenomena you can only observe by yourself in the privacy of your own mind. I'm happy about the purchase so far. The book looks a little intimidating with how many pages it has, but if all the information is as important as what I've seen so far, then I believe the sacrifice will contribute to my benefit in the end.

Today has been overwhelming. It feels like there's simply not enough hours in a day. Obligations swallow up so much of my time that it feels like my life is not my own. Things end up requiring more time than I have scheduled for them.

I ordered a book called "The Mind Illuminated". I've heard it's a good book for anyone practising meditation alone. I want to somehow take my practise a step further, but I don't know how and a teacher is not an option for me currently.
It might sound silly, but my main reason for why I'm meditating is a wish to enjoy creating again. For as long as I can remember, art and creativity has been the most important thing in my life. It still is, but I cannot enjoy it. I believe the fault lies in smartphones that are not only addicting attention grabbers, but also create an impression we should be always available, for everyone everywhere. I've fallen into the spell and the most important thing in my life has severely suffered as a result. Meditation has helped. I've seen effects that show me I'm on the right track, but by now I want something more to help me along, hence my latest purchase.

I want to repeat Phoneless December. I look back to last December with fondness despite the misfortunes that occurred during that period. I want to repeat it so bad, but I have to see how long the vacation school gives us will be.

The year is soon over. Time flies.
I may be able to draw with my favorite drawing program again. I'm looking forward to it.

I wonder if I need a blog on this page at all.
